Fatty's Tattoos & Piercings Dupont Circle

I got my 3rd lobe pierced by Michael a few days ago and upgraded my jewelry for my first lobe. I loved him! He was so nice and personable and it was so quick and painless pretty much. We discussed styling my ear for more piercings and I couldn’t be happier and more excited to work with him again. I’ll definitely be back! I’ve had 3 tattoos at this location but this was my first piercing I’ve had there. I can’t wait to go back!

If you want a piercing or even upgraded jewelry, book with Michael. He discussed what he thought in his professional opinion would look best and be a cohesive look for what I wanted to achieve with more piercings. I told him what I did for work and that I need it to look dainty and professional, we discussed that I sleep primarily on my side (I know I know) and I left it completely up to him. He picked out the jewelry for me with his explanations and I’m in love! 3 days later, minimal pain and it’s super cute! So happy and excited for more!

I went to the DuPont circle location and was pierced by Michael. It was the smoothest process ever; Michael was so fast at responding and we quickly made an appointment. When I got there, it was about 30 mins before my appointment but he said he might be able to squeeze me in, which he was able to. From then on he explained everything very clearly and was super helpful in answering my questions. I was most nervous for the piercing but Michael went straight for it and it was over before I knew it. Great place, great piercer, and I highly recommend it!!

I went to Fatty's to get my first tattoo - I had the best experience. Mikey did a fantastic job, took his time, and was extremely patient and understanding with me when deciding on the design. The tattoo is EXACTLY what I wanted and he understood what I was trying to do completely with wanting a very fine line. The studio was very clean and professional as well. Highly recommend!!

One name: Kory!! I came here after contacting Fattys about getting my first tattoo done and Kory immediately got back to me and was constantly in contact with me about my concerns and what I wanted. He answered all of my questions and was very prompt from the beginning.

When I came in, he had the design ready and made adjustments when I asked for them until he designed my tattoo exactly like I wanted it! He’s got a very steady and gentle hand, but moves quickly!! I’d say I have a pretty average pain tolerance and I was damn near ASLEEP on the table….not bad for a first tattoo experience!! He was very kind and we had great conversation while he worked. He had me in and out of the shop in about three hours for a shoulder blade to waist tattoo. This man doesn’t play!!!

I have been referring him like crazy because I love how he works!! Does the stencil, has the saniderm tape for after, light handed, he’s got it all!! I’d post the pic of my tattoo but it’s under the tape and healing with a bunch of ink pooling under, but it’s healing nicely! Doesn’t hurt or itch!

The online system to book an appointment is very bad. I contacted the studio and got a reply from Michael and after a few messages to find a convenient appointment he stopped replying. I was travelling to DC three days and wanted to plan ahead. When I got no reply anymore I decided to stop by the studio when in DC. I just wanted to buy jewellery, not even mgetting it installed. When I arrived there I got rejected, because I had no appointment. When I explained the situation, the reply was "we receive dozens of messages"...

The team was professional and fast. We were walk-ins and would recommend but they were able to pierce me and two friends right away. We all got an orbital piercing

Great place, I have a piercing and just recently (today) got a tattoo. I recommend them.

They are really efficient with piercings!

Absolutely amazing service by Michael! He answered all my questions online before and after the piercing promptly.

Brian was excellent. He was professional, took his time; during the consultation, sketch, and execution of the tattoo. It turned out great, exactly as I had hoped. I would definitely go to him again in the future.

Despite my flighty arrival, Matt was patient & kind, not only with me, also with the flood of people who came in immediately after (weirdly lots of daiths) & the people on the phone AND was helpful in his (excellent & appropriate) suggestions & guidance to a person wanting a tattoo but non-committal in her aesthetic tastes. Michelle(? god I hope that's right) did 2 piercings for me that I already love, and was such great fun to talk with, the kind of person whom you just...would pay to talk to or be your friend. Like therapists wish they were. She did EXCELLENT technical work & was respectful, informative, and as sterile as you should expect a piercer to be, maybe more. I'll be back.
